Brighton vs Nottingham Forest Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Brighton:
Verbruggen; Hinshelwood, Van Hecke, Webster, Estupinan; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma; Pedro

Nottingham Forest:
Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Anderson, Dominguez; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood

Brighton had difficult opponents on their way to the quarterfinals. They have eliminated Norwich City, Chelsea and Newcastle so far. The Seagulls are also successful in the Premier League and they sit 7th with 47 points. The fans are dreaming about Champions League and the dreams could easily become a reality. According to the latest UEFA calculations, England will have five participants in the top competition. Manchester City are currently fifth with 48 points, just one more than Brighton, so everything is possible. In the last match before the international break Brighton played 2:2 with Man City, but the Seagulls were much better team and created lot of dangerous chances. However, Fabian Hurzeler has big injury issues at the moment. Key players such as Jason Steele, Igor Julio, Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner and Tariq Lamptey are definitely sidelined, while Matthew O’Riley, Solomon March, Lewis Dunk and Joel Veltman are rated as doubtful. It is clear the hosts are very handicapped.

Nobody was expecting Nottingham Forest to be so high on the table in this period. Not even the most optimistic fans. The club officials were hoping to collect 40 points that guarantees safety. But players led by manager Nuno Espirito Santo did a fantastic job and currently sit on the third position with 54 points. The fans are happy, while the pundits are confused with their ability to keep high levels of intensity even in the late stages of the season. The Tricky Trees are successful in the FA Cup too. It is truth they have easier opponents compared to Brighton, though their victories against Luton Town, Exeter and Ipswich should not be underestimated. The atmosphere in the squad is just perfect, while the players confidence is high. Nottingham are in mini series of two wins, but one of them was against Manchester City. Nuno has two injury worries ahead of this match. The absence of reserve goalkeeper Carlos Miguel isn't too important, but there is more - top goalscorer Chris Wood was forced off through injury for New Zealand on Monday and will have to be assessed on matchday.

Brighton vs Nottingham Forest Prediction:

Brighton are favorites in this quarterfinal, mainly due to home advantage. The Seagulls are undefeated in their last five home matches against Nottingham in all competitions. However, I think Nottingham Forest will not lose after regular 90 minutes. They are fantastic this season and the players confidence is high. Brighton are also good, but they have lot of injury issues. Fabian Hurzeler could be without as many as nine first-team players due to injuries.
